No Title Given

Today wasn't so bad. To anyone else, it would have been impossibly boring, but for someone like me it was full with shits and giggles.

I started a new book last night. After forcing my mother to let me go to the library before we headed into Orange, I made good use of it. But I was so tired, I was only able to read about 10 pages before I feel asleep. Today I stared reading at 1:30-ish. And I kept reading until almost 7:30. I read 200 pages. And I'll probably finish the book today. Yay for me. But sadly, the other books I got I figured out where duds when I got home. I should have at least checked the description instead of just getting it for the author's name. I've got 2 more books I know that I'll read. After that, I'll probably have to go back.

Today was the first time I have driven a car by myself. I wanted some mac and cheese, and even though I had told my mother we needed more 2 or 3 days ago, and there was none of the shelf. So, I decided I would solve the problem by going myself, since I knew my mother wouldn't want to go anywhere.

Getting dressed and all that, I was nervous about what I was going to do. But when I got in the car, and made it out of my driveway, I had no fear what-so-ever. Not even a quickened of my heart beating. I even stayed the speed limit, which is 25 mph. Even though I know most people go 30-35 mph, and people were riding my ass, I didn't intend to get a ticket on my first day of driving. I decided that I would experiment with that when I had as must to lose. Maybe try it when I finally was tired of driving.

I don't really understand my mother's over protectiveness of my driving. When I was driving yesterday, and it started to rain, she demanded that she take over. I had driven in the rain before, while I was doing my drivers test, and I did find. My friend Sandy pointed out a good point, that she is not going to be around forever, and is not always gonna be there with me in the car when it rains. She is having the same problem with her parents. But she knew enough to make that point. I had just whimpered, got in the car, slammed my door, and didn't speak the rest of the way there.

I was surprised my mother let me out of the house so easily when I said I could drive to Food Lion to get my food. Only down part was, I also had to pay for it. I don't understand my mother's big hang up. My father has it to. As if driving alone, without someone in the seat next to me to yell and scream, puts me at a disadvantage to the other drivers. I've said it before, but it pisses me off. allot.

Alan "fixed" his computer today. Actually, he never found out what was wrong with it, just started re-installing stuff and it worked. Or something like that. He also got a job at the store he was trying to fix his computer at. He has always been around there, even was shooting to get a job there before. He seemed so happy when he worked there before. Hopefully it will be the same thing. I just hope it doesn't make him too tired... and who knows if he will be keeping the job he has now. Probably.
